Where do you stand on Ballot Question 2, which would create a citizen commission to push a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, a Supreme Court decision on campaign finance?

Big money plays too large a role in politics which is why I support Ballot Question 2. Electoral reform is a central focus of my campaign and passage of this question would move us in the right direction in that area. Almost everyone I have talked to during the campaign agrees that we need to increase transparency and reduce the influence of money on candidates and politicians. In addition to the corrupting influence that money can play, the focus on fundraising takes time away from working on important issues such as access to quality health care and education.
